INSIDE LEFT: HOVE, 1925 ..................................................................................... In appreciation of all our readers – both teachers and students – who have to go back to school this month, here’s a shot from 1925 of three lads on their way back to their place of education, after a game of soccer. We don’t know who the boys are, but we do know which school they went to: Hove High School for Boys, which was a small private school based at 49 Clarendon Villas, in Hove, now private flats. The picture is one of a set of six in the James Gray collection, which the archivist has captioned as ‘culled from a private family collection’. A couple of the shots show the boys kicking a ball around, and a couple, including this one, show them returning to school. The boy with the bicycle is fortunate: the playing fields were a good mile from the school, just south of West Blatchington, straddling what is now Holmes Avenue. The shot is taken just north of Elm Drive and Cranmer Avenue. Their school had been in the same location since the 1880s, catering for sons of middle class parents. It housed 200 or so day pupils, in classes of 20-30. School colours were yellow and red, and the school motto was Deus Fortitudo Mea, ‘God is my strength’. Walk past now, and you can see a ship’s-figurehead-like female bust above the door; sadly the boys’ nickname for that is lost in the mists of time. At the time the school was run by Charles Whitsed Kingston, who was responsible for the plaque still attached to the porch wall, commemorating the 27 ‘Old Hoverians’ who died in the First World War. Presumably many of these would have been among the young commissioned officers who led the charges over the top in the Western Front. Kingston died in office in 1930. He was replaced by his son, the Reverend Herbert John Kingston, also vicar of St Mary’s in Kemptown, whose favourite dictum was ‘Smut. Won’t have it!’. He was responsible for the addition of a Hove (and Aldrington) High School for Girls, at no 47. Kingston Jr passed the running of the schools over to his daughter and son-in-law in 1951; by 1959 both had shut down. Alex Leith Thanks, as ever, to the Regency Society for the use of this picture; also to hovehistory.blogspot.com for information on the school. ....98....
